So site is maybe going to shut down in two days, which is too bad given that this site has some of the best debaters on internet. I dont think modern day debate comes even close to this site. It has more members, but they are generally poor debaters who seem to be debating with gish gallop claims only instead of arguments.
Here, I will explain what is true argument and what is true counter-argument.
True argument is argument where opposite premises are impossible. Due to law of non-contradiction, if all opposite premises are impossible, premise must be logically true.
Try this command to AI to make argument:
"Write deductive argument of "premise 1: A or not A. Premise 2: Not not A. Conclusion: A" about poverty being very high predictor of crime. Prove all premises. Show that "not A" is impossible."
True counter-argument comes in 2 forms:
1. Where opposite premise is possible
2. Where opposite premise must be true
If opposite premise is possible, then argument premise logically cannot be proved true because to be true requires that opposite premise is impossible.
If opposite premise must be true, then the argument cannot possibly be true.
So both 1 and 2 are true counter arguments, but only 2 is complete negation.
True argument, to put it simply, comes in form of "A or not A" as its part.
It must have this, because then it can show that not A is impossible, that is: Not not A. (Negation of negation).
However, A or not A isnt the only part.
For example, argument about abortion:
Abortion is wrong in most cases.
P1. If human life has enough moral value to exist in most cases (instead of being aborted), abortion is wrong in most cases.
P2. Human life has enough moral value to exist in most cases or human life doesnt have enough moral value to exist in most cases.
P3. It is not true that human life doesnt have enough moral value to exist in most cases
C. Abortion is wrong in most cases.
The only premise in this whole argument which needs to be proved is premise 3, which is a negation of negation.
P1 and P2 are tautology.
In this case, merely proving negation of negation proves whole argument, making argument true argument.
Another form of true argument are arguments true by definition.
For example, if cats are defined as type of animals, then saying cats are animals is true by definition.
True counter-argument by definition works too.
For example, saying cats arent animals is false by definition. Saying that cats are insects would be false by definition as insects arent defined as animals while cats are.
Definition traps are usually easiest debates.
Likewise, there is true counter argument of undefined word. If some crucial word in topic is undefined, it leaves a huge opening for opponent to define it instead, which then twists the debate in his favor, because one proper definition has power to negate countless arguments which depend on different version of topic instead of stated one.
